Suggest Remedy For Itchy Sensation Inside Ribcage

I have an internal tickle/itch around my rib area. It has happened 5 times before; once a few months ago, and twice today with maybe 15 minutes in between, and two other times today, once now and when I was in the car an hour ago. I haven t changed any habits or anything, it is just super random and uncomfortable. Please help.
